With the first wave of Pirates of the Caribbean sets already released, we've already seen some nice-looking MOCs inspired by the theme. Like, for example, this ambiguously named Swingers Party built by Classic-Pirates.com member TazManiac. A lot is going on in here!

Classic-Pirates.com user SirSven7 continues his great work. This time he made a thorough review of all Pirate sets released in 2009 and 2010. In case you missed them - he also reviewed 1989-1991, 1992-1995 and 1996-1997 sets earlier this year. So don't hesitate to read and learn all you can about the sets that made LEGO Pirates come back to life!

Check out Classic-Pirates.com user Zeya's first real MOC (apart from LDD stuff). It shows captain Brickbeard, his lady and their son spending their free time together. The little cottage looks very neat - certainly nice job for a first time!

With all the new LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean sets already reviewed and blogged, let's once again make a time travel to the past. Classic-Pirates.com member SirSven7, whom you might remember from writing those great comprehensive reviews of 1989 - 1991 and 1992 - 1995 Pirate sets, continues his great work. This time he takes a look at sets released in 1996 and 1997, the last System Pirates sets we'd seen until 2009 - in fact for many years they were considered the last Pirate sets PERIOD! Also, a new faction was introduced back then - the Spaniards, a subtheme sadly never properly expanded.

Another LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean set review is upon us! Classic-Pirates.com user gatorzip02 has done a really good job reviewing this one! Plus we finally have a decent-looking civilian building which most pirate fans will find useful - namely the tavern!

The LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean set reviews are making some serious appearances these days! This time Classic-Pirates.com user TheBrickster shows you a review of what is by many considered the flagship of the first wave of PotC sets - the magnificent Queen Anne's Revenge! So jump aboard and enjoy! And don't forget to rate the set on a scale of 1 to 5.

Not so long ago, Classic-Pirates.com member SirSven7 has prepared a comprehensive review of all Pirate sets released between 1989 and 1991. Now two more parts of his review are ready - the second part takes a look at 1992-1993 sets (enter Redcoats), and the third part is all about 1994-1995 sets (enter Islanders). This is indeed a valuable history lesson as far as LEGO Pirates is concerned, so don't hesitate to take a good look at those reviews!

While some of us are currently anticipating the new Pirates of the Caribbean line, we must not forget about the sets that defined LEGO Pirates over 20 years ago! Classic-Pirates.com member SirSven7 has offered us a back to the roots of sorts by preparing a comprehensive review of all Pirate sets released between 1989 and 1991. This indeed is a very valuable source of information about those truly classic sets!

6286 Skull's Eye Schooner and 10210 Imperial Flagship are the two biggest ships ever released by The LEGO Group - the former being from 1993, the latter from 2009.
